I really want to...

pick myself up and feel positive again. But I feel like each time I want to stand up, someone will come along and give me a good kick, hoping I'll be down again. WHAT you do to me matters but WHO you are matters even more... Good thing is, the stubborn streak & the Cancerian nature in me will prove these people wrong. I've told myself that from tomorrow onwards, I'll ditch any self-pity & be the same old me again. The weekend spent with Mr. Grumpy is a great booster. So, like I always say, tomorrow will be better.

Redang

Here goes... Thurs, 12th A few hours before setting off, my reply to Mr Grumpy's question," Finished packing?" was still "Sort of..." (I'm a good procrastinator) At 630pm, I lugged my heavy bag, weary body (doing nothing can be tiring too) but with much excitement to meet the girls. For the 1st time, I was the earliest. After much waiting, rushing, pushing & squeezing, we finally reached JB at around 9pm. Thanks to my suggestion to shop at Mango and to get Auntie Anne's, we had to rush to Larkin Terminal to catch the 10pm coach (once again proved our sense of punctuality). All was well and we set off promptly although I was not at all looking forward to the 10hrs journey ahead... I have to say this coach is the worst I've sat in so far but ironically, it's the one I slept most in. Although the RM2.90 mini cushion didn't really help to make travelling more comfortable, HS & I were quite excited to chance upon such buys. Fri, 13th Fast ...

A week ago

around this time, I think I was 1) battling sea-sickness 2) "detoxing" my body with (way too much) seawater. 3) wondering why it wasn't that sunny and telling myself it's most likely my first & last attempt at snorkeling. Yes, tell me I'm lousy.

The Sea, Sand & Sun

I thought I brought a piece of Redang back when I saw the new toilet seat...

Almost...

all packed for the trip. I wish I can pack Mr. Grumpy too. p.s. hope you don't get food poisoning after eating all the spies. I'm gonna have a good & well-deserved break! Cya on Mon.

You are my Sunshine

07.07.07

Since I missed the chance to blog on this "special day", my title will be such. Caught bits and pieces of Live Earth and I seriously wonder how effective is such a campaign. Let's start with our own tiny country - how many aunties can stop asking for more plastic bags? When will the food vendors stop giving us 2 bags for just 1 piece of small kueh? I guess the 1st question we should ask is, "How much is spent on this concert?" And next, "How much electricity was wasted when everyone was glued to the TV for that 24hrs (or less)?" Of course, not everyone was watching the show but if that's the case, how are people educated about global warming effect? Ironic isn't it? Entertainment or genuine effort? You decide. Nevertheless, I'm gonna do my part. Are you? You decide. ____________________________________________________________________ Different Privileges Both of us take about 1hr to get home from office.

Not again

Unless I get a big fat ang pow, no way am I gonna be the MC & the recep girl. Enough of recep duties! But, I'm glad the wedding preparation is facing lesser hiccups & family drama. My best wishes still... Anymore weddings next year? Pls inform me now unless you want a $20 ang pow.

My thoughts

We've been waiting for more questions, stupid remarks and whatnot but none so far. Let's see how long the "silence" lasts. *************************************** 2nd visit to the Dermatologist and $69 poorer. No, including cab fare, it's $73. I could have saved that $7 if I have not spoken to the I-know-best fucker before I left office. I love my job. *************************************** I was "worried" about my outfit, hairdo, now-not-very-fluent Mandarin.... but now, I am worried that the wedding's not gonna take place after all. My best wishes to you. *************************************** What makes you wanna marry someone? It got me worried again when I heard from my good friend she's ready for marriage but not sure if her bf is the man she wants to marry. Why get married then, I asked and her reply, " because he's very nice to me"... And I remember my sec sch English teacher's advice against over-using the word becaus...

1st Celebration

I believe in making sacrifices at times. Thus I believe I'll be fine surviving on bread & water for the next few months. Happy Birthday my dear.

Another week

And June's over. Which means half of 2007 is gone. Which also means our sunkissed trip is just 2 weeks away! Read this email my colleague sent and I've finally found the right words to describe this certain feeling I have at times... "Don't let someone become a priority in your life when you're just an option in theirs... Relationships work best when they're balanced" Easier said than done. And what if I'm really just an option when you are one of my priorities ?
